I lead the Praise Team at Minnehaha Church of Christ for about seven years and decided to hand it over to GuitaristForGod. It became official yesterday. He's a gifted young man and he's going to let me keep singing and playing, even though I'm advanced in years and prone to drool and forget what song we're playing! {Guitarist has now accepted a Youth Ministry position in Spokane and has moved on, so I'm back to leading the band.....May God bless everything Guitarist and his lovely wife put their hands to!} I play a Godin Solidac two-voice guitar. She is gorgeous (see pics) and I named her Maureen, after auburn-haired Maureen O'Hara, the most beautiful, talented actress ever to grace the silver screen. Maureen has two output jacks, one for electric and one for acoustic. I play her through a GNX4 floor processor out to two Tech 21 Power Engine 60 amps which I use as stereo monitors on stage. I also plug into the house PA system using the XLR connections on the GNX4, and sometimes I also use Maureen's acoustic side out to a Crate or Ibanez amp, so sometimes I am driving sound through four sources at once. I only get to really crank it up during practice though!Our Praise Team people are really talented and dedicated. They are not on stage for attention, but it is obvious to me that they have an earnest desire to help the congregation lift praise up to our Creator. It is a privilege to serve with them. Some of them are here on MySpace. My daughter Lydia sings lead vocals and my son Rob sometimes helps out on drums or electric guitar.I am an avid Largemouth Bass fisherman. My fishing buddy Roy and I have reached a point where we rarely catch any dinky fish anymore. It's either nice big fish, or none at all (see pics). It's great fun and I sometimes fish from shore or from Roy's nice new bass boat, but I mostly enjoy fishing from my Old Town 'Predator' canoe. I also like hunting, mostly waterfowl and upland birds when I can.I'm a semi-retired old dude. I draw a pension and only work part time now as a sales associate at a major outdoor chain.But I'm a full time believer in the Lord, Jesus Christ.He means what He says about Himself: "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me."I know that's rather exclusive in this day of 'tolerance' and 'diversity,' but He said it, not me.I believe He deserves every bit of our love and praise.My favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 40:8"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever."
